Additional pain & suffering: obituary errors #13

From the Los Angeles Times:

Spillane obituary: The obituary of detective fiction writer Mickey Spillane in Tuesday's Section A said he divorced his second wife, Sherri. Sherri Spillane was the plaintiff in the divorce.

From the New York Times:

An obituary on Tuesday about the detective novelist Mickey Spillane misstated the given name of a surviving son. He is Ward Spillane, not Mark. The obituary also misspelled the given name of a surviving daughter. She is Caroline Hill, not Carolyn. It also omitted some survivors. They also include a third stepchild, Mabry Simonetti of North Augusta, S.C., 10 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. (Go to Article)

Mr. Spillane has lived a full life. Rest in peace.
